The Turok series is making a comeback! At The Game Awards, Saber Interactive unveiled Turok: Origins, marking the first new Turok adventure since way back in 2008. The trailer was pretty cinematic and showed some gameplay, with a big change being the switch to a third-person view.
Players will step into the shoes of Turok warriors battling fierce dinosaurs and an alien menace. You’ll have an arsenal that includes bows, shotguns, and plasma rifles. By collecting DNA, your power suit gets cooler with enhanced looks and abilities. Plus, you can team up with friends to tackle the dino challenge. The game footage gave off vibes similar to Horizon with its third-person action against these giant creatures.
“Turok was one of the first console shooters I ever played,” shared Saber Interactive’s CEO, Matthew Karch, during the announcement. “When we looked at game franchises that we felt deserved to be brought back, Turok was at the top of our list. At Saber, we love taking classic IP and combining it with fresh gameplay. We are excited to finally announce the game, but we’ll be even happier when we deliver this old-school experience with modern-day execution.”
We all love a good comeback story, don’t we?
Turok: Origins is set to launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
